The much anticipated upcoming release from Tool has hit a snag due to, of all things, a SCOOTER CRASH.  The band released the following statement, "The New Year started off on a bad note. For the most part this was due to a minor accident on a Vespa scooter, slick road conditions being the cause, by a certain band member.......Because of the physical nature of the musical instrument involved, nine days of jamming were lost, although Im happy to report that the person involved is recovering nicely. So much so, in fact, that writing sessions resumed on Monday, January 21 despite it being a holiday for many."  And if one scooter crash delaying an album is hard to fathom, how about two....the band continued, "A few days prior to the mishap on the scooter, another person involved with Tool also wound up in the hospital after crashing his Vespa in Hollywood."
